Hi,
I use the xmlrpcclient from applet context, and it bombs with a security
exception. I'm using xmlrpc-1.2-b1 on java 1.4.2_04. The following
is my code, the exception that gets raised and finally my cure to the
problem that was posted on xmlrpc-users.
I hope a patch like this gets incorporated into the xmlrpc core because
this is a great tool and many would want it working seamlessly with
applets also.
Thanks for the great work!

===== my code
import org.apache.xmlrpc.secure.SecureXmlRpcClient;
...
try {
fetchMethod = new SecureXmlRpcClient(fetch);
fetchMethod.setBasicAuthentication(user, passwd);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
System.err.println("ERROR: Bad URL " + e);
}
...
// This bombs when called from applet context!
result = (Hashtable) fetchMethod.execute("fetchJob", new Vector());
